Looks like 370Z is getting rear wiper

nogoodname · 11-28-2008, 11:02 AM

interesting, It doesnt make a difference to me. I don't need a rear wiper.

something else to really consider will be the blind spots, that's gonna be a PIA.

the rear windshield looks long but it really is just like 10 inches tall..lol

I love having a rear wiper, especially on a car with such a (relatively) flat rear glass.

i guess this didn't make it over. good! it looks cleaner

I was looking at one on the floor in Japan, and it Had the wiper. Looks fine if you ask me.
Side note:
I can't wait for this car...improved looks AND performance! Finally he Z-dudes around where I live will be able to give me a decent run in my SRT!:P

A rear wiper is great news! I don't use it that often on my 350Z but I'm definitely happy to have one during the rainy/snowy days. I thought it was pretty odd the 370 didn't come with a rear wiper or heated side mirrors but now that the rear wiper showed up I guess I can be hopeful we'll get heated side mirrors too in Canada (fingers crossed).

im glad the USDM doesnt have it as i have removed it on past cars to save weight and i think it looks cleaner. if your that concerned put some rain-X on the windows and be done with it

The Weapon · 02-02-2009, 11:55 PM

From what i could tell from test driving the 370, i couldn't see out the rear window anyways without rain. Having a wiper when it is raining, isn't going to make that any better. Besides i've noticed if i am driving fast enough the water just beads right off faster than wipers take it off.

I never cared much for my wiper on the 350Z, I'm happier with it off.

I need it here in Washington it rains mostly everyday here so the one on my 350z was used and needed.

OK, I wanted the rear-wiper, but that looks really bad. I retract my wanting it and now will settle for rain-x.

Can't barely see out the rear window as it is... who cares if there's a little water on it.
